On When You May Wear a Button-Down Shirt
These comments may already have been commented but:
1. I think the button-down / button-front / dress shirt confusion might exist only in your own mind. (Maybe bc I'm from the South, where button-downs have always been native, but it's never occurred to me.)
2. Unless I didn't read carefully (entirely possible) you are missing an important genre of button-down wearing. I.e. unbuttoned button-down collar. I believe somewhat Indie Rock in origin (see S. Malkmus) -- half ironic half don't give a F. A good look.
P.s. I otherwise agree with everything you said, and am very glad that you have "surfaced" this important culto-fashional issue.

Thanx Awl. DO NOT LIKE when facts intrude on Monday morning Twitter activisms.
(Facts aside I do not regret signing [and "sharing"!] and think CU could help a brother out.)
